7 Things Houstoner Didn't Know To Clean Up In 2022 | Houstonia magazine

With the arrival of the New Year, Houstonians have made some resolutions for 2022. More importantly, January is a great month to thoroughly clean your home . But did you manage to clean everything up ? How about under the stove or the pile of dust on your ceiling fan (I tell myself). And what about all those hard-to-reach nooks and crannies?

Don't start this year with a lightly clean house. Leave no stone unturned this year to clean up your nest, after all, we have to be quarantined again this winter.

Below are 7 places in your Houston home that urgently need cleaning.

HVAC fan

When spring rolls in, Houston can have wonderful weather, but allergens are also at all-time highs. While we can't necessarily fight dandruff outside, we can reduce it inside our homes. Did you know that a dirty HVAC vent can contain dirt, hair and dust? This month, take the time to clean the air conditioning vents to allow fresh air to circulate.

While COVID-19 is a growing problem across the country, it's important to keep even the smallest things sanitized before the New Year. Light switches in a house are one of the most commonly affected items, so a Clorox or Lysol wipe should do the trick.

pillow

Your room may be dirtier than you think. While you sleep, we lose hair and dead skin cells. You should wash your pillows every few months. A gentle or gentle rinse should be sufficient. Not only will your pillows get clean, but your sleep may also improve.

To dispose

Houston is a city known for a wide variety of musical genres, but funk isn't one of them. If your sink smells weird, it could be the garbage disposal. To clean up the trash, sprinkle half a cup of baking soda and a cup of white vinegar down the drain and let it sit for a few minutes.

Shower head

You can't be "so cool and so clean" with a dirty shower head. If the shower heads are not cleaned over time, mold, mineral buildup, and even soap scum will build up in the holes. Stay cool this year by thoroughly cleaning your shower head.

Door handles

Door handles fall into the category of "high-contact surfaces". Like light switches, a lot of dirt and bacteria can accumulate on its surface without us noticing. Fortunately, cleaning with a cloth containing alcohol is an easy solution.

Kitchen sponges

Do you see the moldy sponge you used to wash the dishes? Yeah, throw it away. Washing dishes is a fairly rudimentary chore, but changing kitchen sponges from time to time is essential to keep your kitchen and dishes bacteria-free.
